My acquaintance with Prof. Ankur Kulkarni is of last 20 years. We have met first time when he was pursuing his PhD at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2002. During PhD he worked on Ministry of Defense- Singapore funded research project and completed experimental work in Australia at Woomera. His area of research is Protective Structures & Structural Dynamics. He is working in the field of education since last thirty years. His focus is always on making students employable. For this he restructured University syllabus in consultation with industries. He started conduction of experiments in association with various industrial plants, so that students will learn application of knowledge He established Executive development center (EDC) with the objective to impart training as per the needs of the industry. The students coming out of the University lacks industrial exposure. EDC trains new industry recruits and grooms through courses tailor-made courses like ‘Diploma in Plant Management’. Such training is provided to Trainee Executives of GSFC, IOCL, Deepak Nitrites and many more industries. Training to top notch executives from industry is also provided by EDC through programs
